Well, sort of. We've opened up the group buy. If we can get a dozen orders for these in the next month, we'll do a limited run of them. If they're wildly popular, they might make it into regular stock. The group buy will run until May 7. Since we'll be placing orders at that point, there will not be the chance to send the traditional "OMG I know it ended last week but I missed it can I still get in?" email.

If you want to check clearance, here are the templates:9" 1.6 rotors10" 1.8 rotors
The 11" Sport template will follow once the CAD work is done on the bracket. It looks as if a 10mm spacer will allow almost any wheel to be used with the smallest and lightest 9" option. 13" should also be possible in that case.

We know that Miata owners are always looking for ways to shed weight. Autocrossers in particular. After seeing a custom minimum weight brake system on a National level CSP car, we figured we could come up with something for everyone. So we knocked 4 lbs of unsprung weight off each front wheel by replacing the stock cast iron calipers with aluminum Wilwood parts. Along with the weight loss, we also ended up with a four-piston caliper for nice even pad pressure. And yes, we said 4 pounds of weight per corner.

The aluminum Powerlite caliper is a fairly new design from Wilwood that`s an excellent match to a quick Miata. It`s compact enough to fit around the small Miata discs, but is nice and stiff and gives even pressure across the 5 square inch pad. Porterfield, Hawk, Carbotech, Performance Friction and Wilwood all offer a full range of pads to choose from. We ship them with a set of BP10 Wilwood pads, which are a good street/autocross choice. Since the pistons are properly sized, the stock pedal feel will not change. Brake balance will not be dramatically affected unless the pads act differently than your previous ones.

These are not intended to be super heavy duty track brakes. For that, we recommend our four wheel big brake kit with the heavier Dynalite calipers and two-piece rotors. These are a good street, autocross and light track option. They have slightly better heat management than stock brakes due to the aluminum caliper, but rampaging V8s on slicks will want more.

Available to fit any 1990-05 stock Miata brake rotor. However, there`s a catch. On the smaller rotors, the caliper sits very close to the wheel mounting surface. You will have to check clearance on your wheels to confirm the caliper will clear. The smallest 9" rotor may require a spacer - a 10mm spacer will solve almost any clearance problem. The 10" rotor setup fits many more wheels, including almost all factory wheels after 1994 - yes, including 14" ones - as well as popular aftermarket ones such as 15x8 or larger 6ULs. 11" should work with almost anything.

Includes calipers, pads, brackets and lines. You will keep your existing rotor. If you`re changing rotor size, you`ll need to pick up a set of the appropriate rotors.

It looks as if this is going to become a standard FM product due to the excellent response so far. We'll get those brackets in production shortly so we'll be able to ship as soon as possible, although it will still likely be at least 4 weeks to get ramped up and get the parts in hand. The price will not change.

On November 10, 1983, Bill Cardell started a VW/Audi/Porsche service shop called The Dealer Alternative. When the Miata came out in 1989, he bought one and started modifying it. His line of "Flyin' Miata" parts became so popular he went into Miatas full time in 1996.

We've been getting a lot of requests for these, mostly to fit Little Big Brake Kits under a variety of wheels. So here you go - custom-made spacers specifically for NA and NB Miatas. They're made of black anodized aluminum so they're subtle but easy to spot when you're changing wheels. On the...

We haven't been this excited about a new product for a while. Seriously, a few of the FM staff are looking at their own Miatas in a different light right now.

There's a good selection of big brake kits for the front of the Miata. Heck, we've had various versions since 1995, and currently offer a number of exclusive options. But there's never been a good option for the rear before.
